It is extremely rare to find these early snake jewels and we are so excited when we do! And snake jewelry is all the rage today. The snake motif has been in use since antiquity. Eternal love, protection and perpetual regeneration are just a few of the myriad of meanings attributed to the snake. Queen Victoria chose a snake ring to mark her engagement to Albert. Consequently, the snake became a popular Victorian romantic image used quite frequently in jewelry.
It has come to symbolize sexuality, rebirth, wisdom and love.
